MeaningSight: Spiritual Development for Meaning, Empowerment and Living Your Purpose
Dr. Greyerbiehl is beginning a spirituality--based initiative. It is focused on serving those who want meaning, purpose and spirituality (self-defined) in their lives. This initiative is particularly interested in those who feel that they don't fit in any particular religious denomination but are deeply spiritual or those who are in a specific religion but want a deeper personal spirituality. The initiative will provide discussions, forums, socials and learning opportunities for those interested. Let us know if you're interested by emailing Dianne.

I Changed My Mind
by Steven Huskey,
Transformational Life Coach
"It is amazing how many uncomfortable situations people get into and stay in because they are unwilling or afraid to admit that they've changed their minds." ~ Brian Tracy Sometimes the hardest thing to do, and the thing that can make a huge difference in your life, is to say "I changed my mind."
Do you know one of the main reasons people lose money in the stock market? They don't have an exit strategy. They don't know when to cut their losses and get out of a bad investment. They think that if they just hang in there, the stock will rebound and they'll make their money back. It seems to go against our nature to face up to a loss or a situation that is going badly and to make a change. Sometimes, one of the best things you can say is "I changed my mind."
We stay in circumstances that are uncomfortable, unprofitable, unfulfilling, sometimes even dangerous, rather than taking the steps to make a change and improve the situation. We find it too hard to say "I changed my mind."
What is keeping you from changing? Is there an area of your life where a change could do you good? Are you in a dead end job? Are you facing an empty nest or contemplating retirement and unsure of how to move on to the next phase of your life? Do you have a relationship on life support that desperately needs to be revived? Do you want to start doing or stop doing something? To get in or get out? There are all sorts of ways we keep from changing. Some are external constraints, some are internal. If I were to make a guess, I'd say at least 80% are internal. Which is really good news, because you have complete control over the internal barriers. Let's take a look at some reasons we don't change and what we can do about them.
The comfort zone. The first barrier to change is our old friend, the Comfort Zone. The force of Habit is a powerful force to keep us in the status quo. Or as the old saying goes, "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know." Often it is easier to put up with the situation than it is to change . . . or so it seems. But little by little, small things add up until suddenly you are faced with CHANGE in capital letters, forced on you by an emergency situation that could have been avoided.
To replace a bad habit with a good one, take advantage of the comfort zone. Find ways to make it harder to do the old familiar activity and easier to do the new one you want to habitualize. Put the candy or the cupcakes in a plastic bag inside a covered container in the back corner of the top shelf in the cabinet. Put the fresh veggies or other healthy snacks at the front of the refrigerator where they are easy to grab. Bring home fruit instead of chips or cookies. Put the TV remote in a drawer in another room where you have to get up and walk to get it. Keep the book you want to read next to the sofa, where the remote used to be. If you want to quit smoking, clean all the ashtrays and put them in a bag in the back of a closet and throw away all your cigarettes. If you want to exercise first thing in the morning, sleep in your (clean) gym clothes. You get the idea.

“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony. ” ~ Thomas Merton
Here is an extraordinary new approach to healing by an extraordinary physician-writer -- a book filled with the mystery, wonder, and hope of people who have experienced seemingly miraculous recoveries from cancer and other serious illnesses.
Dr. Deepak Chopra, a respected New England endocrinologist, began his search for answers when he saw patients in his own practice who completely recovered after being given only a few months to live. In the mid-1980's he returned to his native India to explore Aruyveda, humanities most ancient healing tradition. Now he has brought together the current research of Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics with the insights of Aruyvedic theory to show that the human body is controlled by a "network of intelligence" grounded in quantum reality. Not a superficial psychological state, this intelligence lies deep enough to change the basic patterns that design our physiology -- with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, and even aging itself. in this inspiring and pioneering work, Dr. Chopra offers us both a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing. |

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

More Happiness Rules with Steve Huskey, Certified Transformational Life Coach
More Happiness Rules: When you face an adverse situation, do you know how to "bounce forward" and not just "bounce back"? When you are faced with adversity, do you withdraw to save your energy and marshal your resources or do you seek out people on whom you can rely? Your choices make a huge difference in how you deal with adversity.
"More Happiness Rules : Using the principles of positive psychology to create positive changes in your life", is a follow-up to the May Meet Up, in which Steven Huskey continues with additional exercises based on the research and results from the field of positive psychology. These exercises help you discover skills that you can call upon to help create the positive changes you want to make. Let Steven show you ways to change your brain's structure using More Happiness Rules, so you can implement positive change.
Steven Huskey, CTC is certified as a transformational coach through the Life Coaching Institute. Steven is a Change Master at Excelerator Coaching Services where he delights in working with people who want or need to make positive changes in their lives in order to create the life they want.
